Mark, Enough is enough. There is no reason that I know of for your behavior especially attacking the opinion of someone else online. Faisal is one of the most intelligent ISP veterans in the industry and he does not deserve to be called ignorant by someone that has thumbed their nose at WISPA for many years. I have sat back and allowed you to spout off occasionally with extreme patience. There have been times that I have had to "boot" you from the WISPA mailing lists and you have come back under a different email address, lurked and then repeated your rabid behavior. I think it is rude that a person comes into someone's house and complain about their lazyboy, food, and hospitality. That is effectively what you have done to WISPA. We invite you into our home to learn and improve your business by networking with other operators in our industry and how do you repay that? Turning over the Lazy-boy, spitting in the food and demanding service, with no intention of paying for the service or tipping the hostess is not my idea of worthiness. I have noticed over the years, that somewhere in your dissertations, you always refer to your depleted financial condition and tend to accuse WISPA for your struggling business. I'm not sure if the area you serve is economically challenged, the geography is tough to operate in or you are just not a good businessman. I do however think that if it were not for some of the proactive and reactive lobbying efforts that WISPA has accomplished in the last few years, that many operators would be out of business by now. The telcos/cable duopoly would have had their way in Congress and at the FCC to run wild with their agenda to put the Wisp industry out of business through legislation. Therefore, I am going to put you on moderation. I will allow you to continue to receive emails from the wireless@wispa.org mailing list but your responses will need to be governed. Something I'm sure you hate me for, but as the moderator, it is my job to maintain proper decorum and provide a healthy environment for other wisp operators to learn in. I have been asked by numerous people to ban you from WISPA lists, but I am not going to do that yet. I only hope that you can learn something from other operators that will improve your business, regardless of whether you would ever support or efforts here at WISPA. I wish you good fortune in the future and only hope that in some way, you can accept that WISPA may have helped you even without your financial support. We are operators just like yourself. Many of us struggle to make ends meet in this very tough economy. I agree with you that the government policies over the last 20-30 years have been disastrous for our economy. This is not a political statement in any way. Policies which have created dominant corporations in any industry have caused "small town America" to wither on the vine. Greed in politics and corporate America has been the dominant reason for our economy decline. There is little dispute of that. We need a new direction and new leadership inside the beltway. Unfortunately, I don't personally feel that any change can be accomplished effectively without some major housecleaning of the monstrous Washington DC governing infrastructure to which all new politicians are introduced quickly. Their intentions may be great before they arrive in Washington, only to be cut off at the knees by the "system and its lifetime staffers". Where there is a Wisp, there is a way!

Some up, some down. I knew I could count on you to demonstrate complete ignorance of What Should Be, Because It Once Was. The founders would curse you for having no understanding. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Neofast, Inc, Making internet easy 541-969-8200 509-386-4589 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I really think you seriously need to read about our founding fathers, and how they operated, (they all did not get together and sing kumbaya at the camp fire, neither did they pickup their scrolls of paper and walk away to their own corners when there was disagreement )...and try to gain an understanding on the 'Democratic Principles of Government' on how they function and operate. You seem to be totally missing the last 2 thirds of the 'for the people, of the people and by the people' , and yes it is precisely because of thinking like yours (suggested in your own words), that the Great French Philosophers of their time, said that the US Constitution / way of Governing is never going to work, and it is doomed for failure.... When asked why ? The response was .. 'Simple. common people are not interested in participating in the Governing process'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Wireless mailing list Wireless@wispa.org http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
